[note Howto] Articles I want beginners on note to read

(Total 2,222 characters)
There are many Howto articles on note.

I didn't think I needed to go out of my way to write one, but recently, a few troubling incidents have occurred, so I decided to give it a try.

I am writing this in the hope that even one person who says, 'I just started note recently!' will see it and find it helpful in some way.

It is easy to complain by brandishing one's own baseless sense of justice and values. While I will base this strictly on my own actual experience on note, I intend to write from a positive perspective of 'how to make things better.'

[Things you should do first]

★Change your icon
I think anything is fine, but
I also think not everything is fine

★Write a self-introduction at the top
Also write a self-introduction 'article'
Link the self-introduction article in your profile
Pin the self-introduction article to your top page

I want to at least do this much. Also, do not make your self-introduction a paid article. And the most important thing is whether it is actually a proper self-introduction.

What kind of person are you? What are you interested in, and what kind of articles do you write? I think displaying these things first is, in a sense, the bare minimum of etiquette.

What would you do if you were followed by someone without a self-introduction?

To know that person's character, you would have to read several of their articles. I think a self-introduction article can be considered a courtesy to avoid wasting the other person's time.

Rarely, there are people who make their self-introduction articles paid (I don't think that in itself is a bad thing, but...) and most of the content is unreadable. It might be hard to blame people for thinking, 'You didn't really intend to introduce yourself properly from the start, did you?' I would just pass on them (sweat).

Also, not infrequently, even though they have gone to the trouble of writing a self-introduction article, it doesn't actually serve as a self-introduction, leaving the reader thinking, 'I read all this way, but I didn't learn anything about this person...'

In a business setting, can you trust someone who enters a negotiation without handing out a business card or introducing themselves? (I personally can't).

I personally think that on note, a self-introduction is like a business card.

[Points to keep in mind when posting articles]

★Do not make all your articles paid
People cannot leave comments unless they purchase the article
★Do not post too many tweets
Isn't X fine for that...
(As an exception, I don't think this applies if the purpose is to post illustrations.)
★Do not post a large amount in a short time
It doesn't give a very good impression. It is especially annoying if you do this in a collaborative magazine
★Pay attention to your image and title
A quite important element

Actually, I think elements like 'do not write negative opinions,' 'do not write negative things,' and 'do not write complaints or grumbles' would also fit here.

Since there are quite a few people who make those their reason for living, I intentionally left them out a little. I'm not good at that sort of thing, and I don't read much of it, and even if there are moments when I want to write it, I often cool my head and choose not to.

'If it were me,what kind of article would I open and read?'

I think some elements are condensed here. Personally, I think the title and the image are two very big elements. Then perhaps the creator's name and icon.

At this time, using a title or image completely unrelated to the article content will lose you trust, and in the worst case, it is not uncommon to be blocked, so this is something to be especially careful about.

[Points to keep in mind for Likes, comments, and follows]

★Avoid silent follows as much as possible
Add a comment, even if it's short
★Read the other person's article carefully
Do not press Like without reading the article
★Do not leave comments that trouble the other person
Try to write your impressions of the article
Do not just write about what you want to say

I sometimes end up following without writing a comment. I often do this carelessly myself, so I can't act superior.

However, you should be careful about pressing Like without reading the article. I think it is an act that many noters dislike. I try to be happy that I purely received one Like, but it still doesn't feel good.

There is no way you can read a long article in a short time. I think it is better not to press Like on several articles at once if you can help it.

There are quite a few people who stop pressing Like entirely as soon as you become mutual followers, and when I think that I might be doing the same, I personally feel that the world view of note is that it's not just about becoming mutual followers.

Finally...

I am happy when people read my articles, and I am happy when I get comments. But if asked if I am doing the same for others, I think there are still many areas where I am lacking.

Because I always think that way, I have refrained from writing this kind of article until now, wondering if someone like me should even be writing a note Howto article.

But looking back, when I was a beginner, I read many similar Howto articles and used them as a reference. I feel that articles written by someone saying 'It's good to do this!' were very helpful to me at the time.

It may have been almost entirely my personal thoughts and values, but I hope this catches someone's eye and serves as some kind of reference.

Thank you very much for reading to the end.
